Biostimulators and Collagen Stimulators in Reston, VA
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are non-surgical treatments that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. Fillers provide immediate results, such as visible improvements in facial contours and volume. These injectable fillers deliver quick improvements with little to no downtime. Most are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps hydrate and plump the skin.
Dermal fillers help address smile lines, nasolabial folds, thin lips, and facial wrinkles by replenishing lost volume. Fillers are commonly used to correct volume loss and add volume to areas like the cheeks, lips, and under eye hollows, helping achieve a more youthful appearance.
For patients looking to avoid surgery, this option offers a minimally invasive procedure with natural-looking results. Fillers provide immediate lifting and visible results, making them a preferred choice for those seeking quick enhancements.
Sculptra: Stimulate Collagen for a Youthful Appearance
Collagen production naturally declines with age, and both collagen loss and declining collagen levels contribute to visible signs of aging such as sagging skin, facial fat loss, and reduced skin elasticity. Lost collagen and elastin lead to reduced skin firmness and elasticity. The body's natural collagen production can also be affected by factors such as sun damage, which accelerates collagen decline. Biostimulators like Sculptra help reverse this by encouraging your body to produce more collagen over time.
What Is Sculptra?
Sculptra® Aesthetic is an FDA-approved non ha based injectable treatment made with poly-L-lactic acid. Compared to other innovative treatments, such as those using calcium hydroxyapatite, Sculptra and these injectable treatments both stimulate collagen production to rejuvenate the skin and improve volume. Unlike traditional HA fillers, Sculptra works gradually by rebuilding the skin’s structure from within, improving volume and smoothing deeper facial wrinkles over time.
How It Works
Injected into the deeper layers of the skin, Sculptra is a form of collagen induction therapy that stimulates collagen production by encouraging your body’s own natural collagen synthesis. The treatment works by triggering the body's natural healing response, which leads to the formation of new collagen for improved skin firmness and elasticity. Results appear gradually and can last up to two years. Most patients need a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
Who It’s Best For
Sculptra is ideal for adults looking to restore facial contours and address volume loss, but individual factors such as skin type and skin condition also play a significant role in determining candidacy for this treatment. If you’re noticing facial aging, recessed scars, or fine lines, this treatment provides subtle, long-lasting improvements. A consultation can help address your specific concerns and tailor the treatment to your unique needs.
Radiesse and Hyperdilute Radiesse
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse® is a calcium hydroxylapatite-based filler that adds volume and stimulates long-term collagen growth. It’s also FDA-approved and offers immediate improvement in the appearance of deep wrinkles and skin laxity.
Hyperdilute Radiesse Benefits
By mixing Radiesse with saline and lidocaine, this treatment becomes suitable for larger surface areas, including:
-
Neck
-
Décolletage
-
Upper arms
-
Abdomen
-
Knees
-
Buttocks
-
Hands
This approach helps improve skin texture, tightness, and tone. Hyperdilute Radiesse is effective for improving skin texture and can improve skin quality depending on the area treated.
Who It Helps
Radiesse is popular among individuals aged 35–60 who want to improve facial volume or minimize acne scars, crow’s feet, and facial folds. It also works well for patients not ready for fat grafting or surgical options.
